[DigimaxPhoto]

Great talent and vision...Love your work!

[streetstaruk]

AMAZING!! Do u design your own backgrounds aswel, or are they stock photos from elsewhere? This is soooooooo AWSOME!!!

[M0JRA]

[Entertainmentcenter]

Very nice, looks like loads of fun, BTW I seen your deviantart page and some of your gallery, your photo manipulations are amazing.

[CASTLE999666]

+1 Fan 4 u

[RebeccaReporting]

Wow you are extremely amazing oh my goodness I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW TALENTED YOU ARE.

[Nothingking3]

Oh wow what skill!

[EpicStarbean]

hey great job with this!

[4208Nef]

Incredible....

[DeathTragedy666]

You, my dear friend, are an impressive artist. I simply like this thematic approach. : )

[kiddiesm]

great effort with amazing result!

[Shearkin]

that was amazing!!!! you are quite talanted!!!

[djrhotax]

OMG.... outstanding.....

[TheShadowgirlaa12]

wow in the Deviant pic i saw her in your profile she looked like she really did it and was somewhere else when in here she looks happy and fun!!

[misty21291]

o my gosh....u really made the costumes from 0 - 100% by ur self......*clapclapclap*

amazing.....

[thegrellkid]

Wow....in the photo-manipulated picture you posted of her on deviantART, she looked so serious, yet in the behind the scene video she looks fun and happy. It's kind of...almost surprising, because you artwork had that much impact.

Amazing job!

[ASilveryBlue]

what photo editing software do you use?

[alaworu]

This is so amazing! The best part of it is that you guys seemed to have a hell of fun while shooting it! :)

I loved the pics before this video, now I like them even more! Awesome work! :)

[EmoElmoOnHigh]

Amazing. Do you do all of the editing yourself? If so, where did you learn lol?

[mlrosier]

@deedeearemaster And you think that being a master at DDR makes you something special? Have you done anything artistic, digitally, traditionally, or with photography that's worth the oxygen you're taking up? I don't care if you're top of yoru class or hold the most prestigious degree in the world. An @sshole, when it boils down to it, is still an @sshole, wiped, dirty, clean or not.

[deedeearemaster]

I didn't realize models worked with people with so little talent. Maybe she's new and didn't realize lol

[annaandjennifer]

@deedeearemaster so little talent?! did you SEE the after pictures. thats amazing for someone who is only (i think) 18-20 years old.

[deedeearemaster]

@annaandjennifer Hardly, freshman at Massart do better than this junk.

[annaandjennifer]

@deedeearemaster hahahahaha. allright, i think you forgot ur glasses. u might want to put them on dude. either that. or ur just insanely... ignorant.

[deedeearemaster]

@annaandjennifer Well I finished top of my class from RISD and hold an MFA from Columbia, so trolling aside, I know what I'm talking about. Anyone can take poorly lit images and Photoshop them. That doesn't make them art. The model was the only talent I saw in this video.

[annaandjennifer]

@deedeearemaster whatever dude. jealously is a terrible thing. im not even gonna argue with you.

[deedeearemaster]

@annaandjennifer Christ if I was jealous of this I would kill myself.

[fountainPoison]

@deedeearemaster My goodness, could you be any more uppity? Top of your class or not, it doesn't give you the right to put people down like that. If you don't like someone's work that's fine (you can just say so), but I don't care how "educated" you are, if you're going to give criticism, the least you can do is make it constructive (unless of course you're just trying to look like an asshole)

[annaandjennifer]

@fountainPoison i agreee <3

[dokeyali]

@deedeearemaster I didnt realize people who have videos of women's Bras and underwear on their main page were even allowed to offer criticism. Not that I think you are, or are even capable of criticizing. the fact that you, supposedly, went to these "prestigious" schools and are still unable to recognize great work when you see it just shows that you're an ignorant moron. I'm sorry that people like you get to comment on works of people with such great talent!

[Hellnr13]

verry nice work:)

[a42ozslushie]

I feel so honored for you to favorite one of my photo manipulations :o

[yetafilms]

Hi I come from Deviantart and I am impressed with your work, I also do photography and I would like someday do what you do, create characters and I congratulate you photograph them so much talent. hugs and greetings!

[Kiwii3364]

Have you consider doing a green screen method during your photoshoots? It seems like it'd speed up the process.

[sarbear1521]

this is awesome. im just wondering if u can record a vid of how u edit ur pics. that would be awesome :D

[mortredcritical]

my goodness! superb!

[trixy219107]

wow, you're really a true artist

[Crow949]

Haha, this is awesome :D Well done! Photography at it's finest. Keep it up :)

[Etiros]

Amazing! I caught a little mistake in one of your post-processed images. The one on 3:07, there's still a little piece that needs to be cut out from right under her finger, on the left.

[TwinkyCreativeProd1]

J'aime ce que tu as fais ! Well done

[Schubelicious]

I saw these pictures on dA.

AMAZING.

I thought they were completely digital art!

[RegardVermeulen]

Amazing! I would have loved to see the before shots and the process involved with getting them to look like the after shots. I love it..

[BlueXCanary]

this is truly amazing...

my mom is a make up artist for models and i've NEVER seen anything in those photoshoots that is as amazing as this!!!

are you a professional?

[EuphieHime95]

oh my god. what a talented artist you are. i admire you :)

[OliverHeuschele]

[dragonyr7]

You are amazing! I love your photos and I wish I had as much patience ant talent as you at making probs...

(Ps: where did you get the music for the video?)

[jlpastor2009]

NIce vid!

Awesome final art!!!

The only thing i'm not so shure about is the boots, IMHO barefooted would have an even nastier look. Its a 10 out of 10 anyway :D

[Calep0802]

awesome!!!!

[redmint7]

I didn't know you made the kimono and headpieces yourself! This must take a ton of effort! You're amazing! :D

[czarmusique]

cool.

[midnightmagnifito]

I watched your Behind The Scenes youtube video and I just have a quick question. Why do you shoot against a normal background instead of a greenscreen? Just draping big pieces of neon green cloth for use as a background SHOULD make the post-edit process of masking out the unwanted elements easier, right?

Is there a reason that you choose not to employ that method?

Thanks!

[pquarmeARTS]

Daaaaaaaaaamn haha ... still amazes me to see how creative you're. Your designs are so unique and looks like still shots from epic blockbuster movies. I love how you manage to tell so much story with just a frame of shot. Keep up the good work. Love all your work. :)

[AndrewAshfordHungary]

FANTASTIC! I love you!

[Spinwebby]

Stunning... just stunning. Brava!

[vinnierusso99]

Amazing!

[Spenelo]

WOW. So great to see how you got to your images from start to finish. (after seeing them on DA) You're very creative to conjure up these costumes and the headdress and the make up and the photography practically by yourself!! WOW. SUper kudos to you! :D Was really entertaining watching this and you have inspired me to at least attempt to replicate work of a similar high standard. Keep it up! :D

[evilmoofin]

damn ur good

[lightazland77]

OMG!! this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen! :) Flipping heck, you're so talented! : O And your DA is amazing too!

[Littlegirlshar0n]

so much respect for your work <3

[moonstar456]

wow amazing I love your work sooo incredible

[ConaMooreDesigns]

Amazing, do use create everything or do you use stock images for the flames dust background ect ?

[krad5656]

You're my inspiration in pursuing my photography even though I don't have decent camera and is your dad there ? Where the model hangs. haha :)

[TheGoatliness]

This is absolutely amazing. Well done. I wish I was as talented as you :)

[cbardian]

amazing! it's crazy to visualize what you want far before the shooting, make everything from scratch yourself; prosecute the photography, and edit the results with such an expertise on photoshop! I'd like to feature you in blog!

[zeynep123123]

wow really cool!

[kayeolapong]

I follow you on dA and I must say you have amazing work. I enjoyed watching the progress! You really have such patiences, and your model is beautiful and has great expression. Just as an after thought, kimonos with short sleeves like that are for older women, while longer sleeves are for younger, single women. BOTTOM LINE, this is FANTASTIC!! :)

[michellemoniquephoto]

@kayeolapong interesting... I never knew that :p thanks!

[KittieKatXD]
